Description Josh Bressers 2005-06-20 15:28:46 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #161095 +++

I ran across this issue in the Debian BTS:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=315064
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/5237

It seems that by executing an XMLRPC server in ruby in this manner:
s.add_handler(XMLRPC::iPIMethods("sample")

It becomes possible to execute any arbitrary commands within the XMLRPC
server.
Comment 1 Akira TAGOH 2005-06-21 17:08:12 UTC 
Fixed in ruby-1.8.2-1.fc3.3 for FC3 and ruby-1.8.2-7.fc4.2 for FC4.
